Judith Weaver’s Summary

Educated in the Middle East, South Africa, New Zealand and the UK, I lived amongst and worked with people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. My views are simple, look after people and they’ll look after you.
Over the years I have acquired experience in a wide range of arenas from the marine, charitable sector to the construction industry. With a number of successful projects under my belt, I see Health & Safety as an essential, common sense part of being a responsible person, and also a natural progression of how successful businesses can further enhance high standards that look after the well being of their staff, increase quality standards, have good staff retention and increased profitability.

I am a highly motivated versatile, conscientious and dependable individual, that looks after clients interests with a work style that is geared toward anticipating situations and providing solutions before they become problems. I have a track record of encouraging high standards in Health and Safety from all personnel.
